Tianjin Massacre

Years: 1870 - 1870

The Tianjin Massacre, which occurs in Tianjin in 1870, is considered to be one of the archetypal and most important jiao'an or missionary cases of the late Qing Dynasty.

The incident marks the end of the comparative cooperation between foreign powers and the Tongzhi court, and adversely affects the ongoing renegotiation of the Treaties of Tianjin of 1858.

“History is a vast early warning system.”
